1: It makes sense that the resurrected person's emotions could dispel the technique because Orochimaru was quick to qualm the kages' minds directly after performing the technique earlier in the series.

2: Yay, another fucking incarnation of the same old whirly-bird technique.

? what episode[s] had Naruto watching Hinata doing her water-wind practicing in the lake/pond?

I've seen the AMV's but I'd like the episodes before and after .. to fill-in the blanks -- please ^_____^

lololol

Well, it's been years since I watched that at this point, but my Wikipedia-augmented memory says that that was from a filler arc from 148 to 151. I'm pretty sure it's from 148, so you can decide if you care about the rest afterward :V

Cartoon Network bought it up, trying to get back it's losses from DBZand InuYasha only to find another useless Anime! However, every oncein a while Naruto does screw things up soo badly that nothing can be done to correct his antic's!

the manga is fine, it's the anime that screwed it up with so much filler material. Although I still find the fact that naruto never learned more than 3 techniques (bunshin, kage bunshin, rasengan and various upgrades of it, I don't count nine tails as a technique) in all his time of uber training kinda pissed me off. Sasuke learned a crapton of new techniques while naruto has basically been reusing stuff that he had at the very beginning of the series.

He was actually my primary suspect when I was discussing the manga with my brother since we figured his identity would probably be a character we know rather than a new one. And we didn't exactly know a lot of characters that were Uchiha. It just wasn't really confirmed until chapter 598 when Kakashi mentioned the Sharingan sharing the same dimensional space that we knew for sure it was him.

Now I'm just waiting on the manga to explain how the hell he survived those boulders. And why he didn't go back to Konoha afterwards.
